Toothpaste and knives

Hey guys, I’m finally back in the US now. Sore throat. Sleepy. Must read much Turgenev for class tomorrow.

A funny thing happened to my child at the airport (he flies alone): at security, his toothpaste was taken away because no liquids are allowed on planes. So now he has stinky breath. Furthermore, as I cleaned out his backpack this morning so he could use it for school, I found in one of the pockets a knife he uses when he fishes. He’s 9, so of course he had no idea what he was doing. Still, people: my kid unwittingly had a knife on a plane.
